5150s are on, the bushings were bitches and were too thick, had to dremel them down and used my old rusty's bushing on on, ripped another to get it on, and one lower is wedged on the stud, but its not going anywhere. anyway, these shocks ROCK.   bling  and shows my bumpstops and how much shock i have left. the shocks are about 2" longer then my rusty's shocks, but the bodies are 1" shorter.  and pretty pic.  |

Yea thats what i was thinking, but it so much money and i really need to save some. I am prolly going to get the bilstein 5100s or the RE monotubes cause they are both the same price of $79 each vs what i think the overrated OMEs at 86 each. |

UPDATING:
the exhaust is done good enough for a while. i clamped a piece of an exhaust extension over the hole - did that a while ago. rear 5150s rockzor my sockzors, but the 300ish miles on my pass side leaf pack didnt fare it well and it bottoms out a lot. oh well. the axle u-bolts are fine.
1- new control arms. my lowers are crazy old RE and the rubber bushing is shot, and its 150% different than the new ones. so im looking for uppers and lowers now
2- breather for rear axle
3- front shocks, leaning towards 5150s still.
4- limiting straps for the front. mounting from the swaybar mount on the axle so somewhere. probably a bumper/tie in bolt.
5- rear bumper/tire carrier
6- 3/4" boomerang shackle to counter added weight from tire carrier
7- riddler D30 cover
8- OBA with a nice pump and probably an old fireman's air tank for well, a tank. can get that for free from nicole's dad
anyway, i have a WJ MC/BB on the way to my house. that and the TNT belly should be going on over break.
